Johnny Manziel spotted at Las Vegas casino on eve of season finale


LAS VEGAS — Johnny Manziel, who will sit out the Cleveland Browns' regular season finale Sunday due to a concussion, was seen Saturday dining and gambling at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood casino, according to employees and patrons who interacted with the embattled quarterback.

Manziel, who Browns coach Mike Pettine said still must address off-field problems that resulted in a stint in rehab last year, paid cash for a meal at a restaurant in the casino, according to Tina Samira, a waitress who served Manziel and his guests at Heart Bar at Planet Hollywood.

Manziel also sat down at a blackjack table and a casino employee examining his photo ID exclaimed, "We've got Johnny Manziel with us tonight," according to John Hornacek, a 43-year-old casino patron who witnessed the exchange.

Manziel, 23, started six games in his second season with the Browns but was ruled out of Sunday's game on Thursday by Pettine, who said Manziel was in the NFL's post-concussion protocol. The Browns (3-12) play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET.

Isn't this false?

People really digging for new threads.

We have passed the time where defending JF makes any sense. I mean waaaaaaaaay passed. I don't see any way the front office could justify bringing him in here even as a free agent signing for the NFL minimum.

People really digging for new threads.

This story was on most of the web sites I opened in the morning. It didn't take any digging. It was just there in the open.

Isn't this false?

Still no absolute confirmation nor a full denial of whether he was in Vegas; however, he wasn't in contact with the team on Sunday.

Haslam confirms Manziel was a no-show on Sunday


Have the Cleveland Browns had their fill of Johnny Manziel?

According to Peter King of TheMMQB.com, the woeful franchise is "so done with the guy" after Manziel, mired in the NFL's concussion protocol, failed to show up Sunday for a previously scheduled meeting with a team doctor.

The Browns were unable to reach the second-year quarterback on the phone, leaving King to tweet: "I will be stunned if he ever plays another snap for Cleveland. He wants to go to Dallas."

Team owner Jimmy Haslam confirmed Sunday night that Manziel didn't appear for treatment, saying: "It's my understanding he was not there this morning."
